supported by alex attias (planet e), italoboyz, karotte, sebo k, raresh, d julz, funk d void. michael melchner is barely at the beginning of his twenties. at the moment deep house of the late nineties has to take a shine to him. in the detail it gets clear, that this is not only a copy of an epoch, but a certain vibe, which is going to be transferred into the present. this vibe with his warm sound, the well dosed house beats and a strong musical sense is hearable, but this sounds by no means antiquated. on a-side several instruments like percussions, xylophone and samples of an mexican trumpet make sure that there isn’t only an exiting variety shortly before or after the primetime, but also a proper portion of itchy feet. with the both tracks on the flip-side the whole spectrum of michael melchner becomes clear, at the one hand a clear view on the dance floor with classical house beats and on the other hand a musical character, which one misses in many current productions. >chen chen< is slightly more co plicated and more rhythmic whilst >nothing happened< is a pleasing leaned back dramaturgical subtle house piece with a distinctive bass line and interspersed voice samples.

incl dan curtin remix !! barcelona based label >vinyl did it< honors its name by releasing its first vinyl ep. dr. needles delivers nonstop minimal tech, demolishing and more on the harder side, no bleepy stuff here, perfect for keeping it going late at night. label co-founder, digital ape, remixes ping pong, giving it a much more dubby and atmospheric touch. he highlights the melody to give it amplitude and make of the original a track ideal for early on or for coloring a set with more melody. dan curtin, one of the most respected american techno producers, creator of excellent music for labels such as peacefrog, klang, dust science, tuning spork and his own metamorphic, remixes ping pong on the b side, taking it into another dimension

an incredible ep with namlook exploring the edges of minimal techno and deep ambient, while the remixes are pepe bradocks most dancefloor oriented works in ages! macro delivers a stunning release by a man who has not only produced 3 collaborational albums with richie hawtin, but also runs the ultra influential fax label with an artist roster ranging from speedy j to bill laswell to klaus schulze: namlook is a true electronic pioneer in a league of his own. the track >subharmonic atoms< was produced back in 1995 and is re-released by macro as a long out of print electronic prototype on the edge of minimal techno and ambient. but dont think this is a retro affair: subharmonic atoms sounds incredibly fresh and proves it is as groundbreaking, innovative and timeless as jeff mills early axis works or hawtins concept1 series. entirely remastered from the original source and cut in unparalleled sound quality, it is available on a single 12inch side for the first time ever. the release is completed with nothing short but french remix master pepe bradocks triumphant return to the dancefloor. his versions of >atoms< are rocking upfront house burners, which his fans have been waiting for since 2003s intrusion ep. definitely one of this years hottest packages

alex krueger is ready for his next strike on dirt crew rec. the follow up to his excellent <push the patton< single is an absolute minimal killer, 3 quality tracks here and a different side of tigerskin for each taste. all tracks were produced with analogue equipment only which has become pretty rare these days ! the title track is a warm and reduced builder with an absolutely devestating guitar breakdown, people will remember this one for sure when they first hear it out on a big system. the second >wanted< is a typical tigerskin rave anthem, similar to his master hit >neontrance< this one is pure power on the dancefloor. the last track is more funky and has a great electro groove to it, this one has become a favourite in our sets over the last weeks and also features a beautiful break with great analogue sounds

bcc ft. robin hannibal of owusu & hannibal the new music for dreams signing (and gilles peterson faves) with their first 12inch release for the label and a fine one it is. yam who works remix duties on the a side with a fantastic house mix, while the flip features the superbly lush and sleek album track combiner in both instrumental and vocal forms.

d passion had some guests over at his studio, and heres the result! the collabs, a special release featuring 4 collaborations of d passion with artists from all around the scene. the first one might be a combination of 2 of the youngest, yet most thriving forces in the harder dance, take the risk is d passion and italian mad dog kicking it with bassdrums, tight melody and sharp vocals. together with promo, d passion sat down and created the last track of the night, a track with a large intensity grade shows their view on how the last 5 minutes of an event could and should sound like. the b-side might be a familiar one to many. last year, d passion and unexist provoked each other to non stop hardcore antics, and the two tracks which resulted from this session might be some of the hardest out there! bring the noise and what the hell are the best examples of how intense the combination of the unexist style and d passions production skills can be.

for this second release the indigo raw crew proudly presents >dominus< who are dominic & mirus, two fresh and upcoming producers from barcelona. their first release tarantella ep is a three tracker that brings you directly into the deep chemistry of modern tech-house. on the a side >skin< is a driving warm up tune with deep cords and rolling grooves while >tarantella< builds up with pumping beats and fluffy pads. sian (octopus/poker flat) also delivers one of his best remixes so far adding hypnotic atmospheres and rolling baselines that makes it a perfect peak time tune for the crowds

after the genre-smashing, seven vinyl pressings deep (and counting) success of viktor casanova, there is no way that the italoboyz could possibly top their first appearance on mothership, right? wrong! we are happy to report that they have created an organic techno masterpiece in >bahia<, enlisting the help of one of the greatest jazz musicians of our time - john coltrane. youve never heard the master like this - the italoboyz have molded the original >bahia< into a stomping peak timer as only they can. their trademark monster kick underpins stuttering jazz kits, a playful piano line, and an insistent, soulful tenor sax sample from the man himself (cleared after four months of intense negotiations). bahias intro leads into one of the most surprising and euphoric breaks you will ever hear. there are two versions to choose from - the party swing mix gets right to the point, grabbing you by the scruff of your neck. the flip sides mucho lungo mix is perfect for those late night warehouse moments, taking its time to deliver the sweet payoff

amp fiddlers vocals set the stage for 3 different styles of remixes. their individual energies create a diverse set of remixes that can be used to compliment one another on the dance floor. you ll need two or more of these 12inches in order to tease and play with the crowd...! brian & ketch aka strand are old skool producers with 15 years of serious underground producing, and for this track they have laid a simple yet effective chord drivin mix bringin the east side of detroit to berlin. eddie fowlkes and niko marks, have collaborated on numerous tracks before, as we all know, but they came together this time to put a nice deep dubby cross vocal bottom pit feeder ass kickin mix for their third detroit wax release. alton miller, name needs no introduction, brings his cool, smooth, cigar smokin percussion mix. you get 6 minutes of mr. millers let your nuts hang vibe.

a-side is one of the most sought after disco tracks ever (not to be confused with randy muller’s skyy), originally test press only, flip is equally rare, one of those only true disco diggers know about

welcome to the deepest nightmare of pulshar, welcome to nospheratus territory. an unforgettable trip into the darkest side of the bands soul, inspired by the cult movie nospheratu, this is one of the greatest dub and melancholic tracks of the year. a trippy bass and envolving melodies for an instant bloody dub joy. rod modell and steven hitchell take the controls on the b side and produce one of their best reworks yet under their echospace alias. they have reduced the original track to a deep and emotional piece. a majestic cavalcade into dub techno, a composition full of rich textures which remind of a cloudy day in detroit city, accompanied by a subtle conga that kicks off from the middle of nowhere and turns out really smooth, deep & dark. a little different than the material from their album on modern love, more reduced into the deepchord sound, a little more scaled back

definitely one four the ibiza headz!!! techy edged prog/electrohouse track!! includes pirupa & ruggero remix on the flip side!!

dj support by : 2000 and one, karotte, james flavour, tobi neumann.... after already four strong 12inches on audiomatique we proudly welcome back robert babicz with his fifth audiomatique release: >dark flower< is a shiny groover accompanied y a beautiful remix from rotterdam based techno-veteran joris voorn. the a-side features two new tracks by robert, >dark flower< & >spiralboogie<. >dark flower< showcases roberts typical handwriting: a dry, but funky groove construct with melancolic and deep synths while some highly seductive bass slaps create this very special babicz feeling. >spiralboogie< spreads its magic on a2. slowly building, having the funk in the trunk and fully focussed on simple, but reliable qualities. forward ever, backwards never. the flipside holds our chefs suggestion: an extraordinary joris voorn remix of >dark flower< which already stirred a huge buzz when steve bug tested it on his recent japan-tour or robert played it out in brasil last month. joris voorns mix perfectly combines floating harmonies with a thrilling drive. simply irresistible

virgil enzinger, breaking through with his amazing record for chris liebing s clr back in 2006, starts up the zerocol-series with a one-sided hammer named black, and there is truly no other word which could describe it better. a slowly developping arrangement on 126 bpm creates a dark atmosphere while the grooves combine straight drumming with 6/8 shaking elements. for those of you who prefer it dark, but high end, this is the record.

thumping house gear from ferrer and sydenham on this 10inch release on ibadan. behind a booming bassline and a little french kiss synth influence as well, double penetration is perfect for that late night floor action, with a little progressive feel in the sweeping synth lines setting it off just right. both mixes glide effortlessly along - in fact if you get 2 copies and play both sides one after the other, the results would be outstanding!

risen from the dead, the incredible mr john starlight is ridin dirty and kickin some dust with his new one sided bass o mator... killer tune ... already played by tiga (oh man. new starlight is the fucking best!!!), soulwax, housemeister, cajuan and more ... with the track back on cocoon records

incl argy remix !! tokyo s rising star ryo murakami has already put his diverse, electronic sound on the map with the >rise< ep on dessous last year, and received great praise for his track >my soul<, snapped up by steve bug for the fabric mix series, which was piled high with atmosphere and dark, club energy. his next 12 includes two new tracks, the title cut being >down the sky<, cooly influenced by old school house, but also more recent european forays into night music. ryo demonstrates a heavy aptitude for stripped down futurism, with staccato, jilted beats, joined by layers of padded synth structures, looming somewhere between light and darkness. the b side, ‚coke‘ (no questions asked) welcomes another one of ryo‘s extended journeys, this time a stronger, peak time groove which never lets off, and builds around layers of spaced out, pitching fx. brain-tingling pitching synths heat things up, before laying down a super-funk hook that melts on top of the beats irresistibly. ryo then leads us head-first into a series of spac d out, jacked-up movements, characterised by risque, feminine vocal snippets. poker flat‘s young greek maestro, argy, creates a stunning hi-tech remix of ‚down the sky,‘ complete with mesmeric dub influenced chord stabs and tripped out washes of delay. once again carrying on the vibe of the original, but twisting it into an altogether different beast, argy takes ryo‘s warm synth stabs and shapes the remix into a slow paced yet pumping club tool.

after his immense debut for spacetalk, south london based kaine delivers the goods again on his eagerly awaited return. on the a side we have profundo, an epic, storming, piece of intricate dancefloor action that builds and builds and builds to devastating effect. to the flip, new speakers picks up where his last spacetalk 12inch left us, a huge follow up to last years acclaimed welcoming idaho. once again on the organic, balearic tip, with soundtracky emotive strings, deep delays and guitar laden stepping beats. this one is sure to be getting plays for years to come.

bad landing is a throbbing mass of dub reduction fuelled by all the space and compression the very capable hands over at dubplates and mastering managed to cram into one side of vinyl. beyond the gargantuan bass weight you find yourself in the presence of a towering valve organ, a looped refrain slowly opening up to reveal a hook thats as catchy as it is incongruous. the a side is substantially more robust and propulsive, fine matallic dollar constructing itself out of sparse percussion and an elongated bassline thats as warm and destructive as you could possibly imagine. the chords here are gnarly and disfigured, slowly disintegrating into an oscillating wave of late night wonkiness that finds mr stott exploring yet another stylistic side street, emerging once again with his own utterly individual sound.

kevin saunderson, one of the creators of techno, celebrates 20 years of productions. 3rd installment double a side 12inch of the kevin saunderson history project where kms invite selected contributors to remix prime cuts of kevins productions crossing all his monikers, from inner city, reese project, e dancer, resse and santonio and tronik house.

on this release carsten franke comes with more reduced minimal techno, styled up with some detroit chords and melodic electro-pop elements!! again on the remix-side we have our ostwind friend john spring from sub static records. he turned carsten s ramba samba in a more peaktime friendly and more topical & hypnotical techno version. all in one a solid timeless minimal techno to techhouse four tracker...

nice price deal !!! after the big international success of one love, world love frank ti aya & yardi don go back to their roots! its da music is a hands in the air piano anthem that will burn every dance floor for sure! on the remix side, belgians natural born grooves add a banging big room remix, while uk producers soulseekerz lift its da music to become one of the finest house anthems around.

yam who brings two new productions to super promising new uk label electric minds in his typically polished style. the aside wanna make luv is a pretty message direct from the off. a relentless fusion off synths stabs & vocoder action whilst the 80s electro phunk groove is totally banging & insistent, i think the bottom line is they re saying they want to do it but in a futuristic retro stlyee! the b side buzz reaction is one for all those crazy mid tempo hedonist playboy warehouse parties. perfect to be dropped in your disco ballrooms, full off twisted flute solos, italo vocal chants, afro percussion and one hell of a heavy bottom end. a leftfield balearic bomb is very soon about to drop somewhere in londons eastside!

limited edition one-sided 12inch of seu jorges >cotidiano< remixed by abicah soul project. on the rise and highly sought-after producer abicah soul project, most recently noted for the remix of >love can damage your health< by telepopmuzik on dennis ferrers objektivity label, doesnt hold back on this one! already getting heavy spins by carlos mena (yoruba), master kev (nyc), and others

taken from the aptly titled sacrilege lp of remixes from 1997. here we have a 1-sided 12inch featuring carl craigs bladerunner mix. so hows it sound? well its one of those that never drops, instead building on a rapid fire set of hand-claps, some nice little filtered synth fills, a little bit of vocal. basically those elements twisted, turned and arranged in the way only carl craig can (or did in 97)

in 2007 tom dazing established himself as one of the most up and coming artists of belgium. at just 21 years of age he can count richie hawtin, josh wink, james zabiela, marco bailey, ambivalent, gabriel ananda, seth troxler, dominik eulberg, skoozbot and many more to his supporters. toms first heimatmelodie-ep was sold out after 3 days so its about time for more insane minimalism! the ep is opened by >sweet lady luck smiles<, a deep and dark sub-bass-mover featuring one of the filthiest synths you ever heard. quite contrary is >pun intended<, a quirky and uplifting party-mover destined to cause major damage on your primetime-dancefloor. the b-side offers 2 deeper tracks, the original of >visually hungry< is a hypnotic and slowly building groove-track, while arnaud le texier delivers a truly mental and dark technointerpretation. toms trademark outstanding sound quality shines through on all the tracks and finally turns this package into a musthave. all tracks written and produced by tom van der kelen

dance mania was a chicago label founded ray barney in 1985, and was distributed out of his legenday barneys onestop. from the very beginning it was known for raw, percussive tracks from the dirty side of disco and in the 90s laid down over 200 12inchs that were the blueprint for what is now known as >ghettohouse<, or >bootyhouse<. this sound became the foundation for many regional styles of dance music including detroits >ghettohouse<, baltimores >club<, and the current sound of chicagos neighborhoods known as >juke<. we are happy to announce volume 2 of the ghetto classics series with this 4 track ep from two of our favorite ghettohouse producers. features >wouldnt you like to be a hoe<, taken from the >taris is paris< 12inch on dance mania (dm131) and >groove mode<, taken from the >funk city< 12inch on dance mania

finally the last in a fantastic series. one-sided picture! bye bye from stephan bodzin & oliver huntemann

support comes from d julz, miss joles, paul woolford, rob melo, satoshi tomiie, james flavour, tommy four seven and many more... on the a side, the original’s non-stop drive taps into the hidden house music adrenal glands to deliver a pure, unabashed banger. driving, sexed up, non-stop sweat inducing action. on the flip, gusgus attack the original with their warehouse of analog machines - simulta-neously extracting the essential groove of the track but infusing it with their own icelandic party freak show. minimal, maximal or whatever you want to call it, it’s a gem and one of gusgus’ finest remixes to date.

one side pre-release.. limited to 300 worldwide.. jacking chicago track!!

daniel sanchez aka mr. mumbling is yet to show its more tech-e side, in collaboration with e contact as >gimmikk<. plays by richie hawtin, marco carola, adam beyer, paco osuna, 2000 and one. >poppop< is a driven minimal techno groover with a slight italian flavor.

one of japans most intriguing graphic artists >baiyon< has also been producing ethereal and engaging tracks since 1998. having journeyed through cut up hip hop house and dub regions under his conceal moniker, d1 invited him to perform two ecstatically received live sets as baiyon at dublins deaf festival in 2005 and in 2007. now for our 41st in the d1 catalogue we are presenting 4 flawless minimal >trecks< of deep space activity. first up is >s soup< a slick fusion of traditional japanese block grooves and drum machine that climbs its way up into a cloud bursting deep dub house melody explosion. side a is completed by a remix of aforementioned track by south african dj/producer >shane berry< of synewave and trapez fame. the mission continues through >the middle< showing a slightly tougher side to this usually light hearted artist. the plate concludes with a stunning bouncy deep jerky house number >can ride, can walk, cant wait< sweet deep melodies dubbed out over club chuggin beats and a red hot squidge bassline

minority music follows up a string of strong releases with this dope 2 tracker from label boss hector moralez & floridas hottest new talent latenight society. the original has all the elements we love of moralezs previous work on labels like hudd traxx & robsoul, combine that with latenights nu skool sound and the result is a sure fire dance floor hit. slick soul cuts and synthy stabs along with a dangerous bass line make the a side a must have. jt donaldsons on remix duties under his jtilla alias and lives up to his reputation as one of the best in the business. jts solid signature beats accompanied by deep disco vibes are sure to keep the heads nodding...

ultracool minimal electrofied techhouse groover !! limited one side

next strike on go!freitag, and this time with highly recommended tracks from no one less than carl sagan, who left his marks with amazing released on zenit during the last year. again its shakin like hell and the friday mix has only one description: bass-monster! the flipside again the more groovy, minimalistic side for saturday as you remember: friday = techno, saturday = house ,-)

cut the crap, straight to the essence. lizm04 is among us, essential dancing and listening courtesy of ahmet sisman, our own private istanbul/brussels/essen connection. some pure dancefloor pleasure hidden in a-side track hiyan, multilayered, quirky luvly trippiness: one surely aiming for the boxes of djs digging the onur ozer vibe of late. the other side (why call it a b-side anyway ?) goes for a slightly deeper approach, guzzling in the vibe of a few hours later down the line in your favourite afterparty .... but hey why not just use the authors own words to sum it all up : this is surely: >dance for the moment<

phat slamming electrohouse rework of this well known fdh & mk track

tony lionni is the new signing here at versatile. listening to papaia one cant help to think that 2008 will be the year that progressive house will make its comeback. it has been a long time since we had heard such a simple and effective kick and bass intro. the hi-hat then come in along with a small acid sound. the filter opens before the rhythm accelerates. in the middle of the track, the main melody gets dropped in, arms raise and the listener gets lost in the darkness of the night. on the b side, shuffle explores the deeper roots of lionni. the title is surely a reference to the beat, which is predominant in this track. once again the hi-hats are up infront mixed to percussive sounds, which undulate to the rhythm of the bass, making this track an essential tool, ready-to-use and be mixed into almost anything.
